Caty was 19 hours from first ctx to birth. No drugs and as labour was 19 hours I had a lot of time to up my pain threshold. Tiny tear but no stitches. No other complications.

Ceri was about 4 hours from first (known) ctx to waterbirth. Natural and no tears at all. Waaay too fast though - I'd much prefer the 19 hour labour. Scares me thinking about the next one (whenever that is).

Both labours started around 3/4am.
